Altium Agile Teams Reviews & Product Details

Altium Agile Teams is a cloud-based electronics design collaboration and product development management solution that helps multidisciplinary hardware teams coordinate PCB design, requirements, supply chain data, and manufacturing release in a shared workspace. It combines Altium Designer, a PCB design application, with Altium 365, a cloud platform for design data management, and adds structured workflows, role-based access control, and project visibility for teams that have outgrown email, shared drives, and spreadsheets. The software is used by electrical engineers, PCB designers, mechanical engineers, engineering managers, procurement staff, and manufacturing partners. Common use cases include co-authoring complex boards, running design reviews, tracing requirements to design data, monitoring component availability, and releasing design packages to contract manufacturers. Core capabilities include: • PCB design and co-authoring: Multiple designers can work on the same board in Altium Designer, and reviewers can comment on live schematics and layouts in a web browser without installing the design software. • Version control and data management: Every commit records the author and supports visual diffs between revisions, lifecycle states, and an audit trail across schematics, layouts, BOMs, and Gerber files. • Requirements management: Requirements can be imported from XLS, PDF, or DOC files, linked to design artifacts, and tracked through change tracing and verification dashboards. • Supply chain intelligence: Pricing, stock levels, and lifecycle status appear during part selection and in the BOM, and procurement teams can view and comment on live BOM data. • Workflow and project management: Prebuilt templates cover part requests, design reviews, releases, and project setup, with bidirectional status synchronization with Jira. Altium Agile Teams sits between Altium Develop, which targets individual engineers and small teams, and Altium Agile Enterprise, which adds enterprise-wide governance and flexible deployment options. Additional features for distributed and growing teams include: • ECAD-MCAD codesign between electrical and mechanical engineers • Manufacturing release portal for sharing release packages, with one-click sync of released records to Duro cloud PLM • Security and access controls, including SSO, user groups, role-based permissions, and exportable event logs • Guest access for contractors and external partners
